Morphology
museumed + out
The phrase is transparently built from 'museum' (place) plus the participial '-ed' and 'out' indicating a state of being finished or saturated; a learner who knows 'museum' and common uses of '-ed' and 'out' can plausibly infer 'tired after visiting too many museums'. However, this is a creative, discourse-level coinage following the informal pattern 'X-ed out', so the exact nuance (exhaustion vs. boredom) may not be fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
Museumed out comes from the image of visiting so many museums that you are out of energy and need a rest. So, it means 'tired or exhausted after visiting too many museums'.
